This is an elegant
Fukuro obi with 'Tsuzumi'(Japanese hand drum) and 'Botan'(peony) design, which is dyed.
The gold and silver glazing shows realistic and glossy design.
Textile is exquisite silk and has smooth touch.
Lining is not added inside.
Tare end is roughly sewn, but not disturbing for wearing.
There is a designer's seal on the tare.
It has no folding lines and seems to be untied.
Though not indicated, it has about 3 blackish tiny stains near the edge of 'Maegara' (front patterned part).
They will be just on the crease of the center, so they won't be so bothering.
The foil peeling spots by fray will be hidden when tied.
(indicated as discoloration/refer to the 1st flaws photo)
For the details, please refer to the photos and figure.
Though it has some flaws, it could be worn if these minor flaws do not bother you.
Enjoy wearing the elegant design.
